It's a good time. I lean more toward Chorous of Spiritual Fortitude and Fury of the Faithful, as they're more my style. Fortunately, with the way the Talent Tree is laid out, you can go with any of them. Love it. Good to see you again, Squid!

I'm sorta doing the same thing. It's a crit bleed build with the combat blade but taking advantage of the toughness regen and attack speed of the Fury dash. The dash has 2 charges, and its cooldown is only 30 seconds. With 3 Curios rolled with combat ability cooldown, it's only a 27 second base cooldown. U can then combo this with the "Crits reduce ability cooldown by 1.5 sec" skill and take "Martyr's purpose" skill and have basically infinite dashes!! I have a dash every 4-5 seconds and sometimes faster! With Unholy revnant skill, u have some safety if u get too carried away. U have to pick throwing knives tho sadly in order to have enough points to do everything.. At least I did in order to make it the way I wanted to.. Awesome video tho btw!!!

Sounds like a good time. I have a difficult time not picking up CDR in some form on Zealot. The more cleave you can get during a crit, the better it performs, as well. A lot of folks are getting near instant resets using Eviscerator, currently.

one of the axes provides flat crit chance as a core stat to the weapon about 13% or so on top of crit chance on chained hit 4% per stack up to 5 stacks plus the 5% crit perk you have a weapon that offers 18% crit min and 38% crit at max stacks of crit hits. you can push nearly every hit to be a crit hit and chunk hp out of even bosses faster than most people are able while spamming abilities for attack speed for more crits

i use the thunderhammer for the CDR build - with the wide swing, you can hit a lot of enemies with 1 strike and refund a bunch of crit back. Not the greatest since TH is slow, but damn is it funny when you somehow use 3 charges within 10 seconds.

I run the bleed build with the combat knife and shroud field and it’s awesome. You can one hit kill basically anything everything 10-20 seconds, as well as do decent damage all-round. I’d say it’s biggest weakness is ranged or crowds. I run the shredder auto pistol as it’s decent at everything.

It scaled how much damage was blocked by different armour types but with maths making an Ogryns head hurt. Now it’s simpler. It works on anything that’s not just naked or rotting. It works on the Mutants. It works on the Monsters. It works on any armour. Any Rend you have is just added. Until you do full damage. After that it still helps you do more damage, just not as much. If you have a shovel that does 20% damage on the big Carapace guys. With 4% rend, you will now do 24% damage, cause 20 plus 4 is 24. On stuff that already does full damage, it will add 1% damage instead. It always adds 1% more for every 4% Rend you have. Still maths that makes an Ogryns head hurt. Just not as much. And it helps kill things on all weapons." So it also works on unyielding and maniac by the way this reads. The only thing it won't work on now is unarmoured and infested.

Works great, regardless of if the thing is really broken or not. You do want the running skill right next to it though. Counting as dodging while you sprint is valuable in many ways. On another note, there's a mod called Perspective on Nexus. You can play in 3rd person, and with a Lacerate knife it actually makes sense too. Much more spatial awareness and you get to see your own movement animations and judge the hitboxes etc. Can really take your movement to another level when you properly see what's around you.

I bound attack also to wheel scrolling (as I do in other games), but had to use a macro for it (as Darktide only allows 1 key for a function), works a charm.

@@13F4V1G I've come across others that use the mouse wheel option. I don't know if I'd like that mod, as it would remove my Heavy Attacks, and yeah a macro would handle it as well. I tried some macros in VT2 (Halberd block cancel on Kruber) and had a bit of luck with them, but went back to doing it manually. If I'm running the Combat Knife it's typically for a game or two, as I want to play something else and/or my finger is tired.

Its so good on its own but it gets ridiculous with a Psyker that has the cooldown aura + perk. You have nearly 100% uptime on Chorus and Shroudfield in auric missions.

Bleed takes way too long to kill the mob, I'm using Mk V (hit harder) or Mk VIII (hit faster) combat axe at power level 540-545, they are way faster in clearing mobs (unarmored or armored depending on how you set up the perks)

I'm a big Combat Axe fan. I haven't wrapped my head around the changes to the Mk VIII yet. For me, on the axe, Bleed is there to bolster my Crit Rate. It's fantastic. The changes to Brutal Momentum toned it down a bit, but it's still a great Blessing. I run Fury of the Faithful, CDR, and Antax (Shred/BM) regularly.

Right on. I'd read this recently. Thanks for bringing it up here. I'll add it to a pinned post.

I ran a crit build with Chorus but only to see what 100% toughness damage reduction was like. Fairly certain there is a cap x.x My finger still aches from all the knifing on auric malestrom missions when testing. The heavy sword ended up being more effective in the long run. At the very least due to not having to stab every single poxwalker in a horde.

I tend to float around on my Chorous Knife Zealot. I bring the Agripinaa shotty for its versatility. If I'm needed up front, I'm there for a push, or I'm running around at lightning speed gathering materials while folks are mopping things up, or I'm in the back defending the flanks. Just kind of all over the place. That helps with not having to click so much...well that and Immolation Grenades.

@@flyinmehkite384 I'd probably run Revolver over Shotgun with Eviscerator. For starters, the swap speed is sick (I don't know if it's faster, but it sure feels like it).

Agreed, there is so much on the table right now, it's wonderful.

Video's great, but the vignetting on the showcase clips is a bit oppressive imo. With how KZread compresses black video, it creates blocky pixel chunks that are pretty distracting and take away from the overall presentation imo

Thank you for the feedback. I did that to mostly hide the the screen effect from Chorous of Spiritual Fortitude. I have the mod to remove screen effects, but for some reason I can't get that or Indomitable from Ogryn to not show up. I'll keep it in mind. Might be better to just have the screen effect there. KZread does do some wonky stuff with black and low opacity, movement is lost in them, and it certainly adds a bit of pixelation. I'll need to upload clips of different version to KZread to see what it does with them to address this. No great solution other than more QC. Thanks again.

Combat Knife has 15% and Zealot has 5%

I'm defiantly going to argue that you have too much bleed on your blade because... RIPOSTE +20% crit chance on successful dodge (which is very often all the time constantly when your zealot) but if you don't have it take what you can get :P fury rising and righteous worrier are a waste of talent points, fury rising you just straight up done need, and righteous worrier is good but. it's not worth 2 talent points just to get it, take anything else in your skill tree that makes sense, the main problem with blazing piety is that the base skill is too strong, and it is really really easy to keep it constantly active 24/7 so you don't need the sub perks for it also i have no idea where your getting your crit numbers from 55% from skill tree 15% base knife crit (it's a hidden stat you need to do research to figure it out, or test it in game with a white knife no perks etc) 5% perk crit (your missing the extra 20% blessing crit from weapon) and then 5% base zealot crit with your setup you actually have 80% crit chance at the moment since your missing riposte with riposte you actually max out your crit chance at 100% also take note that pious cut throat is a % cooldown buff, meaning for things like spiritual fortitude, with a 60 second base cooldown 5 backstab kills. will fully replenish your ability cooldown regardless. and if you play around that it is very very strong i would recommend a stronger single hit backstab weapon tho if you aren't going to be running invocation of death. but pious cut throat itself is one of the strongest CDR perk you can run if you play it well enough i normally go for fury of the faithful in my crit builds, since im playing around toughness DR attack speed etc and the 30 second cooldown time means that invocation of death is doing the most work it possibly can, not to mention redoubled zeal gives you a second change, it's super useful especially when you suddenly find yourself in the middle of fire with 0 toughness one ability to dash out, and another ability to replenish 50% toughness instantly is. a life saver not to mention closing the distance towards gunners with your melee build is EASY with zealots default ability, it essentially makes you immune to everything apart from, snipers, crushers, a hoard of raggers, trappers etc. and most of those can be dealt with using the stubby revolve theirs not allot that will be able to kill the zealot if you play them correctly one more thing to note attack speed. for our purposes, is the same as having higher crit chance in a way because more attack speed = more damage, but also more attack speed = crating more invocation of death, but you are right inexorable judgement still wont be better then just. flat 15%or 25% crit constantly, at best you get a 20% attack speed buff, and that is at BEST another reason for fury rising is the 20% attack speed you get from it, letting you crit more often and recharge the ability more often, faithful frenzy is also very good, close by and easy to get for an extra 10% attack speed buff if i had 1 extra perk point. i would be tempted to drop desperation from my build and take righteous worrier, or if righteous worrier was the first perk on the blazing piety skill tree i would happily take that as is as well, i just really fund fury rising to be an absolute waste of a talent point

Really fast. So much movement speed now in the talents. It's difficult to pass some of it up in a build.

Personally feel like you're ruining yourself here in several places. Shroudfield is great, but way too much is lost trying to commit to it. You're missing Enduring Faith (50% toughness damage reduction when critting) which is pretty much a core element to this build, and was the whole point pre-change. Fury of the Faithful allows you to gap close much better than Shrouldfield, and allows almost 100% toughness upkeep. Shield of Contempt allows for a 75% toughness reduction for 4s every 10s (40% uptime) Just losing a whole lot of tankiness here. I feel like Zealot's whole idea with the bleed crit isn't to be an assassin that does a lot of damage, it's to be an unkillable bleed DoT tank.

@cashcrop_

I have a build like that, for sure. To get back to the old crit CDR build pre-13 takes me 23 points, 24 if I go ahead and pick up a 2nd Fury of the Faithful. Fortunately, you can do all of that, while still implementing Blazing Piety, Fury Rising, and Righteous Warrior. For that last point, you're left choosing between Pious Cut-throat or Swift Certainty. I know which one I'm going to pick for my Combat Axe build. It's the movement rate. That's a really good build you've laid out there. I can either go Blazing Piety and leverage crits for CDR or Momentum and get attack speed and damage. Both are nice on the slower weapons.

The build is cool, but you are really overselling it on your Meat Grinder demostration. You have the perk 20% reduction on backstab kill, which you abused on the clip, but realistically on a mission, you won't be backstabbing that many specalists most of the time, nor are they that close. Even with general thrash enemies, they are so densed packed that you can't backstab them, plus your teammates will blow them way faster than you. Nice concept anyway.

Literally just dodge backwards into a horde and you get free backstabs on command and if you know how to dodge and block you can weave through a horde without taking a hit while doing massive damage in return. If you actually learn the movement and melee of the game instead of just sitting stock still and holding M1 with your gun out until you get swarmed and die you can be extremely effective with melee.
